Today Sony announced some details for its upcoming PS3 firmware update. While they did not announce a specific release date, Sony has stated that it expects the update to be out by the end of this month.
PlayStation 3’s 2.5 firmware update brings some new features to the online experience. First, the friends list will be more detailed, showing how long friends have been online and how long since they last signed in. Second, the PlayStation Store is getting a face-lift, adding an entry field on the top right of the screen for inputting PSN Card codes. Also coming in the update is support for the official PS3 Bluetooth headset. Another feature in this update will allow you to have your PS3 turn off once downloads are completed. Lastly, The PlayStation Network sign-up application will no longer be web-based.
All in all it sounds like a great update. I just wish that Sony would get working on adding mp3 playback durring all games, like the Xbox 360 has.

Today Street fighter Alpha fan can rest easy. It has been confirmed that Sakura will join the cast of Street Fighter IV’s console release. Also joining is Seth, the boss of SFIV’s arcade version. This brings the console exclusive character total to five, including Dan, Cammy and Fei-Long.
As somewhat of a Street Fighter connoisseur, this news makes my day. There is nothing like owning a fireball spammer by exploiting Sakura’s arcing hurricane kick.
Street Fighter IV is currently being developed for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. No release date has been announced yet, however many predict that it will be out by early 2009.

Today the folks over at Hothead Games sent out a press release regarding Episode Two of Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness. Apparently the game has gone gold on PC, Mac, and Linux and will go for $14.95. The Xbox Live Arcade version will cost 1200 Microsoft points. Although it wasn’t announced, I assume the PS3 version will share the same price as the 360’s. There is no official release date, however with the game going gold, I’d say it’ll be out some time this month.

Today Harmonix sent out a press release detailing their newest endeavor, Rock Band: AC/DC Live. Arriving November 2 on Xbox 360, PS3, and PS2, (the Wii gets it Nov 16) Rock Band: AC/DC Live brings 18 live tracks. The game will cost you $39.98 for current generation systems ($29.98 on the PS2) and will act as a standalone expansion. Also, the game will only be available at Wal-Mart.
Personally this news doesn’t really do it for me. Who in their right mind would pay $40 for 18 songs. I guess this is only for the most hardcore of AC/DC fans.
